Lucky facing of house according to your name ?

“OM SRI MAHA GANAPATAYE NAMAHA”

Determination of House Main Entrance Lucky Facing Direction

 According to Name First Letter

Introduction:

Ancient India is famous for sculpture art and architecture science.

The Indian civilization reflecting with this architecture science commonly known as Vasthu Shastra.

All the villages, towns and cities in India are constructed based on the Vasthu Shastra principles and sculpture art by our ancestors. They are standing as examples of our construction ability and making a remarkable image to the rest of the World.

In this way, the cities, beautiful buildings, Normal houses and many more monuments having by this holy land and it is been also called as “VASTHU” in the Devanagari script. 

The manifesto of such a construction and architectural knowledge is called "Vasthu Shastra".

There is saying states that “If the Direction is good then the life is good”. Here the direction means the place where we live, like the facing and placement of the house.

And Life means the good or bad effect which comes to us according to our birth chart.

So one should construct his house according to Vasthu Shastra Principles. If the house we live in is not our own house then also the principles of Vasthu unchanged and we have to share the good or bad effects of the house with the owner of that particular house.

The house where we are born is best for us. Sometimes we may need to live in another house or we may have to construct another house. In such cases, we have to determine whether the house will be good for us or not. The process of determining this is called as “ARVANAM” in Vasthu Shastra. ARVANAM can be calculated in two ways.

1) According to Birth star

2) According to Name Star (Starting later of your First name)

Selecting the Main Entrance (Simha Dwaram) of the house with respect to Name star is the common and best practice. However Some people from states of Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala

Will select their main entrance for the house according to Birth star and their Sun sign. But this is not a commonly used practice.

Firstly we have to choose the main entrance direction according to the first letter or sound of one’s name.

Generally, if a couple constructing or moving to the new house we need to consider the Name of the husband for choosing the House Facing Direction. There is no necessity to consider both the wife and husband’s name. Though the land or property on the Wife’s name we consider the Husbands name only to determine Main Entrance.

(Determination of House Main Entrance Facing Direction According to Name First Letter)

Desa Varga (Direction Class) Determination:

Most of Languages are having 51 alphabets. They are divided into 8 classes. Those are called “Asta Varga”.

Please refer to the above table for better understanding.

The first One is Aa Varga. This class is having the following 16 letters.

"Aa,Aaa,E,Eee,U,Uu,Ru,Ruu,A,AA,I,O,Oo,Ou,Aum,Aah"

Anyone having first letter or sound of above 16 belongs to Aa Varga.

EAST is their own and preferred direction.

In the same way, follow the below table for remaining Vargas and house facing direction determination.

Results of Direction Class:

For everyone, their own birth house is good to stay irrespective of the Direction.

For many reasons, if they have to live in other than their birth house they need to choose the home facing direction according to Vasthu Shastra for good results.

If the main entrance is in the own direction or Swa Disa gives more prosperity.

Starting from Own Direction 1, 3, 7 facing house directions are good.2, 4, 6 Directions are average. And 5, 8 Directions are bad.

The results are as follows for each house facing the direction from the Own Direction.

1) Good

2) Average

3) Friendly

4) Average

5) Enemy

6) Comfort

7) Luxury

8) Expenditure

It is better to avoid Main entrance at sub-directions like NE, SE, SW, and NW.

Gruham (House) is also called as “Gayhamu” (Body). So it is told that worshiping the house is equal to worshipping the body of Vasthu Purusha. The body of Vasthu Purusha/Home is the same as the human body.

“Sarvangay Nayanam Pradhanm” means Eye is the priority of all body parts…In the same way…

“Gayhangay Simha Dwram Pradhanam” means the main entrance is the utmost important thing for a House.

Ancient Texts saying that whoever does the holy rituals at their own house instead of doing them in someone’s house are more fruitful. So It is advised to have an own house for everyone irrespective of size and facilities in the house.

The House without Vasthu principles is useless and not fit for living. We need to consider not only the main entrance of the house but also the right construction of the rooms and their placement.

So we are praying Almighty God that all of you construct beautiful and good houses with the help of Vasthu principles and enjoy the prosperity.

With Best Wishes….

Nava Ratna Gemstones in Hindu Vedic Astrology

Gemstones are the perpetual treasures from the womb of the earth. Since millions of years gems have been receiving and emitting cosmic vibrations, owing to their unique chemical and electromagnetic attributes.

Astrology is based on the fact that the cosmic force of planets governs human body and life. The cosmic structure (signature) imprinted on us, at the time we were born defines our physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and even karmic self. Not every planet is all-powerful at our birth time, and each planet gives varied

effects on each individual. One of the major concerns of an astrologer is to study the horoscope, analyze the effect of each planet (see which effect is lacking or required), and assign the gemstone to enhance the required celestial force in our body and life.

The enhancements in the particular planetary vibration we receive from that gem help us to achieve fulfillment in our personality and destiny.

The electromagnetic vibrations of the gems interact with the aura of our body while in touch with our skin. It then forms a sort of productive energy on `union`, which brings about the change in the following spheres of our life.

Ø  Gems affect our physical well being. The physical immunity is increased, and corresponding gems helps in achieving ineffectiveness from certain ailments.

Ø  They align a particular Chakra in our body. This not only increases our health but also enhances the overall energy level of the body to a greater height.

Ø  Gems direct our emotional and mental faculties and help in achieving higher grounds by attaining inner peace and wisdom.

Ø  Gemstones impart a protection from psychic and mental influences (sub conscience healing and strengthening).

Ø  A gem helps in changing the karmic pattern of the person, in relation with the placement of that planet in a particular house.

A gemstone brings significant change only when in alliance with the aura of a person. Hence it is advised to wear the stone consistently and not take breaks for a long time. Gems are similar to a lightning rod. They create, what is in effect, a protective field around the body, which regulates celestial forces absorbed by the body. In time, the proper gemstones, if kept in contact with the skin, can bring about miraculous changes in mind and body.

Gemstone astrology is the way to implement remedial measure to achieve overall success in life. Although due to lack of proper scientific research, application of this science is looked upon as superstition, the fact remains that when guided by a good astrologer, scores of people have had immense benefits by these brilliant sparkling stones influencing human destiny. According to Indian wisdom of astrology, the nine main gems acting as the cosmic boon to human life are classified under “Navratna”

About Vastu for Home :

Vastu Purushaha :

The Vaastu Shastra is one of the traditional Hindu canons of town planning and architecture. These canons are codified in texts such as Manasara Silpa Shastra (by Manasara), Mayamatam (by Maya), Viswakarma Vaastushastra (by Viswakarma), Samarangana Sutradara (by Raja Bhoja), Aparajita Praccha (by Viswakarma's son Aparajita) and Silparatna. Other treatises such as Agni Purana and works by Kautilya and Sukracharya are not popular even though they preceded the previously mentioned documents. The distinction of style exists due to each document's place of origin. "Mayamata" and "Mansara Silpa Shastra" are considered Dravidian because they are from south India whereas Viswaskarama Vastu Shastra is considered Aryan due to its north Indian origin.

Vastu Shastra deals with various aspects of designing and building living environments that are in harmony with the physical and metaphysical forces/ energies of the cosmos such as the gravitational, electromagnetic and supernatural. Building practices based on limited interpretations of these principles are still sustained in specific areas of India.
Though Vastu is conceptually similar to Feng Shui in that it also tries to harmonize the flow of energy (Also called Life-force, and Prana in Sanskrit, similar to Chi in Chinese) through the house, it differs in the details, such as the exact directions in which various objects, rooms, materials, etc are to be placed.
 
Everyone has their lucky Vaastu facing. If a person lives in a house according to his lucky Vaastu face he will definitely get success in all fields.  
Here we are providing lucky Vaastu facings to various stars in a tabular form. Please follow the below table :

MAHALAYA PAKSHA -- PITHRU YAGNA (The Glory of Mahalaya Pithru Paksham)

Pitrupaksha Starts 30th September 2012 – 14th October 2012
Mahalaya Maha Amavasya 14th October 2012

The fortnight (15 days) preceding the Dasara or Navaratri is known as Mahalaya Paksha or Pithru Paksha. This period is important for honoring our ancestors. Men, whose fathers or Mothers have passed away, offer their obeisance

(shraddha) to their ancestors during this period.
The last day of this period called as Mahalaya Amavasya, the new moon day, is considered as the 

most important day in the year for performing obsequies and rites.

As per Hindu Philosophy, it is said that having taken birth on this sacred Earth one should get discharged mainly from three types of Rinas (Debts) viz.Deva Rina, Rishi Rina and PithruRina (that also includes Mathru Rina).

For the purpose of this article let us confine ourselves to the third one that is Pithru Rina. It is said and believed that one will get discharged from Pithru Rina by begetting a son (continuity of generation), by serving the Parents and also by performing Pithru Yagna (sacred rites to forefathers). It is the duty and responsibility of a son to serve his parents not only when they are alive but also after their death. One may get a doubt as to how one can serve his parents after their death. This is where Vedas/Upanishads come into picture and prescribes certain rituals to be performed in a Vedic way to please not only the forefathers but also the Pithru Devathas. We find many sacred texts (Puranas) like Garuda Purana, Vayu Purana, Agni Purana, Matsya Purana, Markandeya Purana referring about the sacred rites to be performed to forefathers and its merits and also implications of not performing. As we approach towards the middle of Bhadrapada Masam as per the Lunar Calendar, it is time for us to worship the departed souls (forefathers). This worship is held for a period of 15 days during the waning period (dark period) of Moon in the second fortnight called as Krishna (Bahula) Paksha during Bhadrapada Masam that generally occurs in the months.
